DVI Flat Panels? 95
David_Bloom asks: "I've been shopping for flat panels, and have found it very hard to find a good deal on an LCD with DVI. My best bet so far is probably the NEC MultiSync 1550XBK (I've heard good things about its picture quality, and I'm not a gamer, so update times are irrelevant to me), but I've noticed that for about the same cost (~$600), I could buy a 17" Samsung LCD with that TV and video input thingy, but it only has analog VGA input (no DVI). I really don't want to buy a flat screen without DVI to avoid the phasing problems (its a must for me). Any reccomendations on good, low cost DVI-compatible flat screens? Any idea why monitors with DVI support are more (it's digital, so in theory, it should cost less, because there's no need for a analog to digital conversion)?"

What expensive? Mass produced consumer junk!
"replace it with a cheap digital plug"
Hello? Are you an idiot? Thought so! The DVI connectors are expensive, and the cables needed are more expensive than the three coax analog job. The differential transmit/receivers needed at both ends are also expensive.
To be an idiot like you, you'd have to be in your fourth year in EE at university? Am I close?
